need to get some copper in

I have noticed that Luna's tail tip is a bit bald and that Oreo has some patches over her eye that are a bit thin. I have read and heard these are signs of a Cu deffincancy. With out bolusing is there a way to get some extra copper in the daily diet? we switched back to the purina minerals cause when I noticed this I checked the bag and saw the minerals we were using had about 300ppm less than the purina.

It sure is, but obviously you'll have to weigh it out for your goats weight. I bought a scale at the smoke shop to weigh it. Someone on here might be nice enough to sell you some boluses if you don't want to do them yourself :greengrin:
Here's a link that Helmstead sent me that helped...http://www.u-sayranch.com/goats/copper.html
Some people don't even use the capsules, they just mix it with yogurt and give it to the goats that way. I've had good success with the capsule so that's why I keep doing it. If you do try it with the capsule just cut the end off of a 3ml syringe put some yogurt inside then the capsule and then more yogurt and viola! You can use pudding too, anything that will make the pill slip down their throat. Shuve the syringe as far down their throat without your finger being bitten off and push the plunger.
